1 Thessalonians 5:5–15

5 for you are all asons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of bdarkness;

6 so then let us not asleep as 1bothers do, but let us be alert and 2csober.

7 For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get adrunk at night.

8 But since awe are of the day, let us bbe 1sober, having put on the cbreastplate of dfaith and love, and as a ehelmet, the fhope of salvation.

9 For God has not destined us for awrath, but for bobtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 awho died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.

11 Therefore 1encourage one another and abuild up one another, just as you also are doing.

12 But we request of you, brethren, that you 1aappreciate those bwho diligently labor among you, and chave charge over you in the Lord and give you 2instruction,

13 and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. aLive in peace with one another.

14 We urge you, brethren, admonish athe 1unruly, encourage bthe fainthearted, help cthe weak, be dpatient with everyone.

15 See that ano one repays another with evil for evil, but always bseek after that which is good for one another and for all people.
